A Gallery of roses I've met

The Easy-Growing Gardening series covers various gardening basics -- vegetable gardens, roses, perennials, houseplants, garden design, tomatoes, lawns, and Japanese beetles.

The Hungry Garden series is about planting food plants in place where you might not have a lot of space -- a small yard, a patio or balcony, and inside your apartment. 

I'm writing gardening articles on Gardening.org, mainly about all aspects of rose gardening, which I really enjoy. I've been taking pictures for my articles as well, and this has been very healthy for me because I'm driving all over the place looking for rosebushes to take pictures of. I like writing stuff about gardening but I also obsessively research what I'm writing because I have a perfect horror of passing on bad information. Also, I like to understand how things work.

Yes I do, but the price has got to be right for me, paying 40 to 50 bucks an hour. I have decades of hands-on work in horticulture, greenhouse management, rose care, perennials, trees and shrubs, landscape installation, and landscape design. I'm also a good writer, and I've reached that age where I can be choosy about which jobs I take on.
